    Fragmentos

    Stephanie Marianne Teixido Guzmán / Mexico



    Video essay on the new seismic fractures in Mexico City, specifically in the Benito Juárez delegation, after the earthquake of September 19, 2017 caused by deep excavations for the construction of buildings, many of them without construction permits or product of corruption in addition to the extraction of water from the subsoil to satisfy the demand of an increasingly numerous population. These activities were responsible for the physical vulnerability of the soil and are part of the factors that influenced the collapse of buildings in the area.

    Détours-Shortcuts

    Mathilde Jauvin & José Luis Aguilera / Colombia - France



    Between France and Colombia, between Clichy-sous-Bois and Ciudad Bolívar, between two border territories, marked by migration and displacement, two groups of adolescents take the floor to talk about their city, tell their experiences, their adventures and your hopes. Through his images, a dialogue between realities, memories and futures is built little by little. Each group of young people and each character have their French or Colombian duo as their interlocutor. In the manner of a letter, the fruits of the workshops, in the form of small videos made by them, are sent to the other group. Physically distant but symbolically close. A pretext to talk about and make talk to a generation that lives in two cities whose peripheries are experiencing a new era today. The presence of a distant and "exotic" group allows a recipient to whom the link with the territory is more freely told. To be narrated in front of and behind the camera since we know that there is someone in another distant place who takes up the floor again. Or how to find the similar in the middle of a world so unknown and different.

    Occupation

    Esteban Gutierrez / Colombia



    Occupation explores the relationship between the movement of the body and space. While the characters occupy an empty territory, the space develops a visual memory in which both entities become part of the same graphic construction. This work is part of the AVD Project (FUBA, Medellín), a techno-conceptual investigation on the expressive potential of visual data within digital systems. Through a program designed for the project, the information of the video stream is manipulated in real time and the way in which the image is constructed is modified in order to explore the representation of time in two-dimensional space.

    A Night, Stars

    Muriel Montini / France



    There would be the time of the dead and the time of the living. Sometimes death would retell its story and remind Men that they too are mortal. And the two worlds would generate a brush with each other.

    idolization

    Santiago Camargo / Colombia



    “Idolación” is a video performance in which the existential conditions and conflicts of contemporary human beings are revealed. In it, the constant ambivalences and apparent oppositions between certain elements that constitute our humanity such as natural / artificial, calm / chaos, earthly / spiritual, man / deity are perceived, which is synthesized in the figure of the prophet as a means of articulation between these elements. . This character represents the inherent need and search of the human being for the incomprehensible and incomprehensible, that which escapes humanity itself; a search for transcendence as opposed to nature itself. The search for utopia through dystopia.

    Watching (Blade Runner)

    Ben Bogart / Canada



    I think of subjectivity and reality as a mutual construction. Cognitive mechanisms impose structure on reality in the form of imaginary categories that inform prediction and recognition. At the same time, the complexity of understanding the constant challenges of reality. Cognition determines salient and most essential properties of reality, but those properties are context dependent. Is quintessence an objectively observable property of reality or a projection of the imagination? “Watching (Blade Runner)” is situated in a long body of collective work titled “Watching and Dreaming”. Started in 2014, this series of work is the result of statistically oriented machine learning and computer vision algorithms attempting to understand popular kinematic representations of Artificial Intelligence breaking down and rebuilding itself. Machines' understanding manifests itself in their ability to recognize, and eventually predict, the structure of the movies they watch. The images produced are the result of both the projection of the imaginary structure system and the structure of the films themselves.
